1, travel experience
Arrived in Gankeng Town at 9: 30 in the morning. The sun has just come out. It's not sunshine. I just want to shine a little light for wandering around the town. I almost thought I was walking in the movie.
The buildings in the town are very simple, just like the small village in TV series/movies! You can see that some houses have grown moss for a long time and the walls have fallen off, but it is precisely because of this that everything here is very real and full of life. Walking, you will think of yourself as a resident of this small town and feel that you are just going out for a walk, which is super comfortable.
The white walls of Uwa are covered with vines, and branches extend on the paths between houses. Sunlight shines on the slate floor through the leaves, many-hued.
This town is very human. Some alleys are hung with paper umbrellas overhead, some alleys are full of lanterns, and there are paper wind chimes for prayer under the eaves. The couplets and door gods posted on the door are a little faded and have withstood the wind and rain.
There are also some places in the town where blessing strips and cards are hung. The lush blessing belt beside the ancient well covered the derrick. There is also a path with dense leaves, and the blessing strips hang down layer by layer, almost touching the top of the head, and there is a feeling that children are playing hide-and-seek in the alley (and the brain fills in movie pictures).
And the parrot hanging in front of the store, the kind that can't talk. If you honk at it, it will be too scared to make a sound, hahaha.
Put on your headphones and bgm, walk in the town, chase the sun and step on the leaves, intoxicated by your own mv. Ha ha ha ha ha.
2. Shop exploration
I asked an aunt in Gankeng Town, and she said that many shops have not reopened after the epidemic, and some shops will never open again. Many shops are closed this time.
But! ! There are still many treasure shops! ! ! Moreover, we can realize that many shopkeepers are really trying to manage their own styles and products, not just chasing "network celebrities" or hot spots.
_ Discover Shenzhen Wenchuang
This is the best souvenir shop in my opinion! !
In fact, many shops in the Hakka town of Gankeng sell things that are not very distinctive, and they can be sold as tourist souvenirs everywhere.
This store is unique. There are many cultural ideas designed by the team that found the Shenzhen brand according to the characteristics of Shenzhen, which makes people smile. It is very distinctive, such as Shenzhen graffiti umbrella, shoulder bag mocking Shenzhen subway and housing prices, Shenzhen manual and so on.
There are also some unique techniques that the team has explored by themselves. As a handicraft lover, I really love them! ! !
_ Manual Xiao Zhao de musical instrument store
This isn't the name of the shop. It's a flute, but I was too excited to pay attention. . .
I opened the curtains and went into the shop. There is a large row of shelves in the shop with flutes of various colors and sizes on them. There are three middle-aged men (maybe shop assistants, flute players or tourists) playing flutes, each playing his own tune, each intoxicated, and a little brother in an antique robe making tea. It seems that I saw the scene of Liu Yuxi's "Scholars" living in a humble room.
Across the hall is a studio for making flutes, both wooden and unfinished. A master grinds bamboo while auditioning. This ingenuity of hand-made musical instruments is really rare in modern times. If you have the chance to go to Gankeng Town, you must go and see it.
(I think it's disappointing to hold up my mobile phone to take pictures in the atmosphere of music and handmade instruments, so there is no picture. )
_ Chinese medicine sachet shop
The store is large and conspicuous, and you can smell the fragrant herbs when you walk into it. The sachets are small and expensive, 35 pounds each.
All kinds of sachets are hung on both walls of the store, most of which are beautiful and you can choose them slowly. Ah, it's my pleasure.
After taking off the sachet, add the spices. There are seven formulas with different tastes and different functions.
After selection, the elder sister in antique cheongsam will help you put spices into the sachet with a small medicine spoon.
_ sencui
A clothing store full of antique flavor, all kinds of improved cheongsam in the store are very beautiful. The layout and service in the store are very humane and intimate, and there are designer manuscripts to read in the store.
_ Food Street
There are too many delicious snacks here.
Donkey cakes, Sugar-Coated Berry, ginger, milk, peanuts, licorice, Babagaoliang, pork rolls and rice rolls Blabla can directly solve the problem of eating.
3. Access tips
& Traffic
The Shenzhen Metro 10 line has just been opened, and Gankeng Station is probably for the scenic spot of Gankeng Hakka town.
On the 10 line, if you find that your destination is one stop behind the terminal, you will get off in a panic and transfer to the next subway.
After exit B of Gankeng subway station leaves the station, you may be confused in the wind for a few seconds and doubt your life, but just follow the dusty road firmly (it is recommended to take the right, the greenway is on the right, and the auto parts store, convenience store and construction site are on the left).
& time
You can choose to arrive at 9: 30 am to 10: 00 am. At first, there will be silence. You can stroll quietly. When you came out, most shops were already open. You can start buying at buy buy and settle your lunch at the snack street.
Second, you can choose to arrive at four or five in the afternoon. It's not so hot at this time, and all kinds of shops are open for business, which is a prosperous scene. Dinner snack street to solve, see Gankeng Town hanging red lanterns at night.
& Ancient clothes
Miss Xie can borrow clothes from the ancient costume shop in Zhenkou, and spend an hour in 50 yuan. Gankeng Town is very suitable for the style of ancient costume.
& Other trivial ideas
I didn't write anything about a little cool hat paradise, so I didn't go because I was bored.
The map of Gankeng Town is as follows, but when you go in, you will find that you don't really need a map. Follow your heart. The end of the road is always a road, and there will be surprises when there is a road. It's good to know how to find the gate arch.
There is a shop called "Shenzhen Handletter" with 20 postcards from Shenzhen, which is not bad.
